Boyfriend (a friend or a fianceé, always?)

Hi everyone
I am translating a cartoon and one of the characters says:
"Lola has new boyfriend now and is all wash-up with you".
The character is Russian and he doesn't speak English very well.

My question is, boyfriend here is novio o amigo? This cartoon is for children from 6-13, so I'd say amigo, but I'd like to know if sometimes the word boyfriend means amigo, as girlfriend can be "amiga",depending on the context, or if boyfriend means always fiancée.
Thanks!

Boyfriend doesn't necessarily mean fiancée, but it does always have romantic connotations. It is not the same as a male friend.

As a woman, I can have girlfriends without implying anything romantic, but if I have a boyfriend, he is understood to be "more than a friend".

Agreed. Boyfriend is always a romantic relationship. The translation can vary, depending on what country you're in - in Spain, for example, boyfriend is novio. In Chile, however, boyfriend is pololo and fiancee is novio. And so on.
